Thank you for choosing Panamax . The
MAX
4310 is designed to provide maxi-
®
mum protection for audio/video equipment
with external signal connections such as
cable TV, rooftop antenna and DBS satellite
systems.
INSTALLING THE MAX
4310
®
NOTE: The MAX
4310 and the connected
®
equipment must be indoors and in the same
building.
AC Installation
1. Plug the MAX
4310 directly into a prop-
®
erly grounded 3-wire AC outlet*.
2. Turn the MAX
4310 on.
®
3. Plug in one of the pieces of equipment
you want to protect and turn the equipment on.
If the equipment is working correctly, contin-
ue to plug in and turn on your equipment. In
the extremely unlikely event that everything
does not work perfectly, stop and read the
troubleshooting section. If you continue to
have problems, call PANAMAX Customer
Relations Department at 800-472-5555, USA
and Canada.
*Many old buildings are inadequately wired.
It is very common for a building to be
improperly grounded. Building wiring and
grounding must conform to applicable NEC
(USA) or CEC (Canada) codes for the PANA -
MAX connected equipment policy to be valid.

INSTRUCTIONS MAX
Note to CATV Installer:
This reminder is provided to call the atten-
tion to Article 820-40 of the NEC. That article
provides specific guidelines for proper
grounding. It specifies that the cable ground
shall be connected to the grounding system
of the building and as close to the point of
cable entry as practical.
Satellite Coax Installation **
1. Connect the coax cable from the satellite
dish to a Satellite coax terminal on the
MAX
4310.
®
2. Connect the provided coax jumper cable
to the other Satellite coax terminal on the
MAX
4310.
®
3. Connect the other end of the coax jumper
cable to the input jack on your satellite
receiver.
Cable TV or Rooftop Antenna Coax Installation **
1. Connect the coax cable from the wall or
floor plate to a CATV/ANT coax terminal on
the MAX
4310.
®
2. Connect the provided coax jumper cable
to the other CATV/ANT coax terminal on the
MAX
4310.
®
3. Connect the other end of the coax jumper
cable to the input jack on your television,
VCR, or satellite receiver.
**There is no designated input or output jack for the
MAX
4310 Satelliteand CATV/ANT coax terminals.
®
The coaxial protection circuitry is bi-directional in
both signal transmission and protection capabilities.

TROUBLESHOOTING
There is no AC power to my equipment, or
my equipment doesn't turn on.
Make sure that the MAX
4310 is plugged
®
into a working AC outlet. Check all AC
connections.
Make sure the MAX
4310 and connected
®
equipment is turned on. If you are using the
12VDC trigger, make sure that the source is
actually supplying the voltage needed to
activate the MAX
4310.
®
Check to see if the circuit breaker on the
MAX
4310 needs to be reset (press in).
®
The MAX
4310 circuit breaker disconnects
®
AC power from the connected equipment.
You have exceeded the ampere rating for
your surge protector. As a temporary fix, dis-
connect one or more pieces of equipment.
Ask your dealer about additional
PANAMAX products that may be required.
Unsafe Voltage LED - (red) when
lit, indicates that incoming volt-
ages are unsafe and the surge
protector has disconnected the
power to protect your equipment.

Check the coaxial connections, making sure
that they are correctly and securely installed.
Ensure that the TV set is plugged into a pow-
ered AC outlet.
When running the DBS system test, the
